Rob Bonta's AB 1726 'AHEAD Act'

SHARE:

AB 1726 also known as the Accounting for Health and Education in Asian Pacific Islander Demographics Act (the AHEAD Act), aims to bring greater accuracy to the collection of health and education data of the API population, by looking at differences in data collected for different sub-groups within the API community. Currently, much of the data collected, lumps different API communities together as one. Assemblymember Bonta hopes AB 1726 will bring clarity regarding distinct issues peoples from different API subcultures face.
“Certain subgroups within the API community are falling behind on public health and education benchmarks, but these facts are hidden within the broader group statistics,” said Assemblymember Bonta. “That’s why I’ve introduced the AHEAD Act, to help meet the needs of California’s most diverse communities.”

Born in the Philippines. I had my 10th bday in Chicago, IL, my 13th bday in the San Francisco Bay Area, which is still home today. I am father to three wonderful children, to whom I would love to pass on the Filipino culture & traditions.
In a previous life, I was an IT Product Manager for a Fortune 500 company in San Francisco. I managed all software & computer security on the corporation's enterprise servers. Today, I work out of my home office as an IT Consultant and a photographer. I still follow my Chicago teams, but I’m a diehard Bay Area sports fan.
